Sustainable Catalyst Workbench · How-to Guide

Unit-aware calculation, symbolic math, graphing, engineering notes, domain calculators, exports, and prototyping.

Audience: product users, administrators, reviewers, and integrators.

Last verified version: 5.0.0

Reading time: 18–30 minutes

Status: Published support documentation.

Purpose

This guide covers a reversible installation or update of Sustainable Catalyst Workbench, including baseline capture, package identity, dependencies, routes, permissions, service health, sample validation, rollback, and documentation handoff.

Prerequisites

  • A verified backup
  • Administrative or repository access
  • The canonical release archive and checksum
  • A documented rollback path
  • A test workspace and the synthetic sample below

Sample data

This article uses a fictional Resilient Community Retrofit Program. The files contain one demonstration row for every documented feature, so each capability can be tested without private or production data.

1 Chalkboard Translator translate a plain-language energy question into variables, equations, units, and assumptions a reviewable equation and variable table synthetic-demo
2 Symbolic Math differentiate P(t)=120+8t-0.2t² and simplify the result a symbolic derivative with an equivalent-form check synthetic-demo
3 Unit-Aware Calculation convert 450 MWh to kWh and GJ 450,000 kWh and about 1,620 GJ synthetic-demo
4 Graph Studio plot monthly baseline and retrofit electricity use a labeled chart tied to the source rows synthetic-demo
5 Engineering Mode estimate simple payback with stated capital cost and tariff an engineering-style note with cautions synthetic-demo

The downloadable files include all 12 feature rows.

Procedure

1. Capture the baseline

  1. Record the installed interface, backend, package, and schema versions.
  2. Export or back up product-owned state.
  3. Record canonical routes, shortcodes, service URLs, repository branch, and environment variables.
  4. Check for incomplete migrations or uncommitted changes.

2. Install or update

  1. Verify the archive root, manifest, checksum, and version identity.
  2. Install through the product-supported WordPress, package, or service path.
  3. Run syntax, structure, contract, and product tests before replacing the working release.
  4. Apply database or schema migrations only after the backup is confirmed.
  5. Start or refresh the backend and verify its health response.

3. Configure

  1. Set documented endpoints and secret references; never store secret values in public code.
  2. Assign least-privilege roles and product ownership.
  3. Confirm product, version, component, issue, release, collection, and article-type context where supported.
  4. Clear only the caches affected by changed assets or routes.

4. Validate

  1. Import the feature-example CSV or JSON.
  2. Test every feature row in a nonproduction workspace.
  3. Compare actual results with the expected_result field.
  4. Reopen state after a clean reload.
  5. Record differences as draft support issues before enabling real use.

Expected output

  • One consistent product version across interface, service, manifest, package, and export
  • Healthy routes and dependencies
  • A complete synthetic feature test
  • A verified backup and rollback point
  • No credentials or private data in public artifacts

Verification

  • PHP, Python, R, JavaScript, or package checks pass where applicable.
  • The product loads in an incognito or clean session.
  • The sample data can be created, saved, reopened, exported, and removed.
  • Permissions prevent unauthorized administrative or private access.
  • The previous release can be restored.

Responsible use

Outputs support analysis and learning; consequential engineering or safety decisions require validated data, applicable standards, and qualified review.

Do not delete backups or the prior working release until the installed version and all sample features have been validated.
